Default Noisy A/C compressor clutch
Harrison A6 clutch is rattling a bit when not engaged after doing 5870 km the last 3 weeks.

Can it be lubricated, or are there other ways to make it quiet again ??

Change it for a Sanden. The clutch will eventually fail and glow red hot/and or snap the belt. happened to me.

In theory it is possibly to just change the clutch and not disturb the refrigerant. I've never tried it though.

The clutch costs about €20 plus Shipping from Rockauto. Or you just Change the bearing, which costs like €10.

Get a kit to pull the clutch and a new bearing on ebay, watch a few youtube vids on how to and you're set. cheap and cheerful
